Additional Comments: This is first homebuild for wife, #1 priority is reliability!!!! No gaming will be involved, I'm just tired of her whining about het old, run down Dell. Have chosen some components from newegg, looking to save as much $$$ as possible. Feedback, advise, criticism welcome. Looking for help with Mobo choice...not into a bunch of bios stuff, just want to be able to build a reliable unit for her that may have a little bit of "future-proof" in it.
Thanks for all the info I've gained from reading here...I'm about to go blind reading reviews of components and builds
Thanks again
Dave
